Dream folk band Something Sleeps approached us with a brief to write, produce and direct a film for their single Bonny Boy, released through Bristol based breakthrough indie label Cuculi Records. With a two week turn around we set out to try and make something that breaks from the expected norm for folk music videos. Set in one of the best East End boozers in town, this film makes a comment on social media spaces, who we are, where we are, and questions the idea of always looking good for the ‘gram while missing what’s actually going on in front of us.
